Failing at love

If it doesn’t
give you joy, leave. It’s a short life and if it only brings you sorrow and angst
you are living it wrong. In the quest for
evolutionary immortality we struggle in order to win, to live on, to become eternal but the biology of our beings is simple and reminds us of our mortality with every breath we take. Yet we battle in an attempt to obtain
immortality, sometimes with legacy, sometimes in children, sometimes with faith
in god or man. We hope our memories will live on, our love will live on, our
faith will live on but they only die with us. We begin and we end. We can never be eternal
yet we waste every day hoping our life means something. Fall in love with
people that believe that every minute, every breath is ephemeral. Fall in
love with people that respect the transitory nature of life and value it.
